The Church Green in Warrington

They went above and beyond. From walking in, we were warmly greeted. We asked for something that wasn't on the menu, they sorted it out. Very homely. Definitely will be back. Thank you so much.

Well the food and service was good One can clearly see why the place is called the church green 😁😁 But nice place

Four people in our party ordered fish and chips for lunch for £17.95 from the section of the menu labelled ‘big eats’. Four small fish and chips arrived. When questioned why we’d received small portions, we were told that large fish and chips were £26 (would have made it the most expensive fish and chips in the north west?!), but was not available on that day. Large fish and chips did not appear anywhere on the menu, and it was not mentioned when we ordered. Sadly the member of staff was rude and obnoxious when speaking to us, and challenged me by saying he didn’t understand the problem. To charge £17.95 for a child-size portion of fish and chips is the problem. Will not return.

Very nice place in a lovely area. Didn't eat this time but will be coming back!

if you want an under cooked yorkshire pudding stuffed with cabbage and a fatty piece of gammon on top… get your self here. i don’t know what has happened to this place but wow the sunday roast has gone to pot. it was lacking quality and quantity… badly lacking i must say

Went for Sunday lunch and the food was great but the best part of the experience was the staff, who were so helpful, accommodating and friendly. They really made the visit special.

Called in while out for a drive just wanted something light to tide us by the soup and a sandwich was just enough Service was excellent and nice surroundings a very nice place

First and last time of visiting and eating here. My husband had to go ask staff who were standing by the bar chatting to each other, for someone to take our order. The beef in the Sunday roast was extremely sinewy and not enjoyable. The cheesecake desert looked like my 5 year old granddaughter had been employed to make it, as it looked awful and tasted awful unfortunately. Not recommended!

The garlic butter chips were very nice however outside of this the experience was poor. We waited too long for our order and when the chicken caeser salad arrived there was no chicken...? When it came out again ( 15 minutes later) there was anchovies mixed in with the caeser salad. Very odd. This is a shame because it looked nice from the outside.

The food was very visually pleasing. Staff were amazing and attentive. We had 2 deserts which were the best part.

Outside heaters where not working Menu A bit bland Service okay not great Toilets not great

Just arrived to get some lunch here. We're told chef had turned off Kitchen as something needed repair. As we turned to leave a table of 5 arrived stating they had a table booked for 5 mins later. How do that make sense ??? Thanks Church Green. Bizarre!!!!

Loved the duck spring rolls, defoe got back again!

We were disappointed to learn that the restaurant has changed ownership, as the experience no longer meets the high standards of presentation and service we had previously enjoyed. While some elements of the food were enjoyable, we found that certain dishes were slightly over-seasoned with salt. Our main course, the higher-priced Beef Wellington, was particularly disappointing. The meat was overcooked, and the portion size was excessively large, which was off-putting upon arrival. The dish was served on an oversized wooden board, and when the waitress brought additional plates, they didn’t fit on the table, forcing us to place them on the floor. One portion would have been more than enough to share, so we were embarrassed when two arrived, as it was far too much food for one person. We would have preferred quality over quantity. The service lacked cohesion, with several small issues that detracted from our overall comfort and enjoyment. Unfortunately, this experience has left us hesitant to return. Its a shame because we used to love coming here and the food was always very good, however, after this experience it wouldn't be on my list to return.

The Church Green is good for meals and snacks. They also serve a good coffee here. The staff are friendly and accommodating. It is in a lovely setting just a stone's throw from Lymm Dam and the local Parish Church. I wholeheartedly recommend it.

Booked for Valentine’s Day. I rang the day behore to ask if it was just the valentines menu or if they were doing the regular menu too as the valentines menu didn’t appeal to us. The person I spoke to went away to check and came back to say it was both menus. We arrived at the booked time and was told it was only the valentines menu. Poor service

I just wanted to shout out this place, we sadly had to cancel super last minute due to my baby being sick and the kindness and care I received was completely beyond any expectations. What a truly lovely experience in disappointing circumstances. We will be visiting as soon as we can. Kindness costs nothing and goes such a very long way.

We have been meaning to add a review for a few weeks, after having a couple of lunches over the last month. The food, the service was excellent, well worth the visit. Furthermore dog friendly, noting we only ate outside. We will be going on a Friday evening knowing we can have a lovely meal, and live music.

Great service and food. Definitely we recommend it.

Food was cold when served and overpriced for the size of the portions.

Great food. Great service. Great atmosphere.

Great food lovely staff. All round fantastic

Nicely taken over from the old church green owners. Food was lovely, I would recommend the parmesan truffle fries they were very yummy. Inside was lovely and warm on a winters evening. Atmosphere when we visited was quite empty to begin with then turned busy and noisy as a large group arrived. Be prepared for a lot of green inside, all the walls even the radiators were green. Staff seemed friendly but was served by one member of staff most of the evening. Overall experience was nice so I rate a 5 star

Went for Sunday lunch. Nice food, no gluten free gravy for roast but staff went to buy apple sauce. Got charged for extra gravy when very little on meal. Restaurant didn't charge for gluten free dinner and no sorbet. Manager was helpful

We had a such a lovely time on NYE , great food, great atmosphere & super live music & dancing. Great way to bring in the New Year!

Massive improvement since the new ownership. We've been several times in the past couple of weeks and every time the quality of the food and service has been extremely good.

Starters were ok but the mains’ description wasn’t reflective of what arrived. We ordered the “smashed burger”. There was nothing “smashed” about it. Very standard, over-cooked burger. We also ordered the sausage and “Yorkshire pudding soufflé “ again there was nothing “soufflé “ about it. Feel like they’re throwing descriptions in to make the meals sound special, but the reality is quite different. Desserts were ok. Service was acceptable.

Been here many times for breakfast and its usually superb. Today, however was shambolic, now under new management, the food and service was abysmal. I ordered the full breakfast, my girlfriend ordered poached eggs on toast and extra mushrooms...£1.80 for one over cooked flat mushroom. It took an eternity to arrive, my full breakfast had bacon tougher than old boots, one sausage which was still squealing, a poached egg way over cooked, beans with a layer of skin, and one small slice of toast under cooked and drenched in butter they eventually brought out two new eggs, again another long wait, another 5 mins for new toast which yet again, drenched in butter which I did not ask for. Asked if everything was ok, I spoke to a lady who offered a somewhat limp apology and offered to knock 25% off... Will not be returning any time soon, appalling service, and awful food. Avoid.

Phew, where do I start. Food uncooked, arrived cold and plated in weird ways, odd bits of cress adorning plates. Huge chunks of meat sat on top of everything else. Parfait arrived like a millefueile. Every dish had an element of milk, cheese or cream. It was also heavy on potatoes. The menu is poor and limited. The service was haphazard and slow. There was no atmosphere. All my friends told me it was rubbish since it had changed hands...they were absolutely right

AVOID: Simply put, just don't bother, terrible food and no atmosphere nowadays! waste of time and money!! There's better places to go near by.

After not coming here since I was a baby, I booked breakfast last week with my parents. The produce was so good 👍 tasty, hot, and a great portions and fabulous staff. It was that good we came back Thursday for dinner. Myself and mum had the pie of the day and dad the curry. The pies are homemade for the pub and wow, the best pie we've ever tasted that good mum and dad ordered some from the church greens deli. The pies are full of filling and taste so good. Dad said the curry was excellent, homemade too. The food was all hot and looked appetising on both occasions. Both waitresses were attentive chatty and efficient. The brothers who run the pub are lovely and remember you. My mums going through a health condition at the minute, and Mark asked my dad while collecting the pies he had ordered how mum was! This shows how lovely and genuine they are. Definitely be back soon. Well done, team 👏 😊👌

Booked for a Sunday lunch for Husband and myself, service was impeccable, high standard and friendly too - table was ready as soon as we walked up to the front desk. Both had the beef feather blade roast and it was delicious - we arrive around 1pm and the place was already very busy, lovely atmosphere and christmas decorations are up - i would say it’s a beautiful pub refurbished to a high standard, will definitely be returning 😃

Threw a baby shower breakfast for 12 people this morning at the Church Green. So happy, we had a great time. All the staff were so accommodating and helpful with everything especially with such a big table. Extra thanks to Will, chef and Alison! Our breakfast was gorgeous!

A superb pub/restaurant and event venue, serving high quality food - hosted by a wonderful team! Whether you’re looking for an intimate pub meal, a group dinner, or a private event setting, I couldn’t recommend The Church Green highly enough. It is relaxed and unpretentious, with an excellent menu and genuinely lovely staff. Will and Matt were warm, welcoming, and incredibly flexible when they hosted a private event for 150 of my family and friends. Nothing was too much trouble and they went above and beyond to ensure it was a success. The food was fantastic, and they tailored the menu to our needs, and the service team were friendly, professional and discreet. Can’t wait to go back again. Five stars all the way!

Lovely spot just by Lymm dam. Delicious food, helpful, attentive and friendly staff, and absolutely spotless. Varied menu with something for everyone, and generous portions. And dog friendly! We'll definitely be back.

I wanted to reach out regarding our recent dining experience at The Church Green on Sunday at 1:30 pm. I had reserved a table for four, including friends I hadn’t seen in some time and had introduced to your restaurant, hoping to enjoy a high-quality meal together. While our waitress was extremely polite and attentive, unfortunately, the food did not meet our expectations. We ordered two turkey roast dinners, which were served barely warm, with potatoes that were hard and lacking in flavor. By the time I was halfway through, the meal had become completely cold. My husband’s fish and chips were mostly greasy batter, and our other guest’s salad with anchovies was just edible. However, the hummus starter was lovely. I left without expressing my disappointment to avoid embarrassing our group or disrupting our meal with a re-heated plate or waiting for a replacement. Given that our bill was around £165, I had anticipated fresh, high-quality food as advertised. Regrettably, this experience has left me feeling let down, and I’m will not recommend The Church Green to others in my network. Thank you for taking the time to read my feedback. I hope it can contribute to maintaining the standards that guests expect from your restaurant. Christine Morley

Good pub lunch after a walk around the dam

We called into the Church Green on tuesday to meet some friends for drinks which was lovely,there was a great atmosphere and it was so nice to see Will again and his staff,we went back in the next day for a late lunch and we both had the curry which was excellent, its a fabulous place for drinks and food,a great couple of days had by all.

The food is the nicest food I have ever tasted, the staff are lovely and the owner could not be more accommodating…. I really recommend this pub to eat

Food basic. Nothing to write home about and not worth the money. Servers are lovely though

Always brilliant in here highly reccomend the waitress are absolutely brilliant owners are divine a real must in your diary

This used to be a Michelin star restaurant. Now it has an absolutely awful menu. It still has the remnant of a nice pub that has been left out in the cold. I don't know who wrote the menu but there is more choice in local chipy. Even what is on offer is just about average with above average prices. just doesn't ever warrant a 2nd visit. And it doesn't even have a good selection of beers. Don't even get me started on the gents toilet. Overall not a place I would recommend. hi It really is a shame. It could be a very nice restaurant. But not with the terrible menu on offer.

Tried their deli. The sandwich selection was tiny and overpriced for really simple options (ham & cheese only). The sausage roll was nice but the £5 pork pie was so mushy neither myself or my wife was able to eat it. Service was prompt and friendly.

Family decided to go out for a nice lunch and I was very impressed. The staff were welcoming and the food was top notch. I have had a few disappointing visits over the last couple of years so pleasantly surprised how the new management has brought back the quality and service. Kids ate everything so bonus points for that.

Gorgeous spot, with a lovely atmosphere and delicious food and drinks. Service was 5 star too! They had a quiz on which was so much fun. Will definitely return.

Really lovely location, set back off the main road. The outdoor seating area is well maintained and there are tiny fairy doors on the tree outside which is a nice little detail that kept our little one busy while we were there. Service was quick and although we only bought three drinks and a bowl of chips, we enjoyed all of it. We said we would go back and eat in the garden room next time because it looked really nice! We coupled this with a nice walk around the dam and the pub was really accommodating with our dog - the waitress even brought him a bowl of water over. We'll go back.

Poor service, long wait for food to arrive even though not that busy, got one order wrong, served soup but failed to bring a spoon, not good value for money.

Lovely food, great staff and dog friendly.

First time since it changed hands, the food is just as good as ever, we sat outside in the covered section which is well covered and has heaters if you get cold. Great choices of food and the deli is definitely worth a visit.

Great place for our family lunch. Catered for all of us... special needs diet, hungry kids, vegetarian, eat lots and plenty person... and the dog! Very happy!

Went back having been a regular previously. Impressed with new staff, food served hot , tasty and reasonable. Seems to have lost some of the ‘celebrity chief’ shine with a more basic menu , but was a very good standard. Suggest having a strong maitre de at the door to meet and greet, offer suggestions etc would enhance the experience. But defo 4/5 which will gwt better with time and experience. Better experience than Jolly Thresher and Barn Owl.

What a lovely surprise, I've not been here for years and used to practically live here in the 80s, staff were very friendly and attentive, food is a little pricey, but you get what you pay for guys, lovely environment, setting, food, staff and singer on at 8pm every Friday, what more could you want! To be polite and respectful works both ways, Highly recommended!

Gorgeous place, attentive staff. Our first time there. Food a bit expensive and uncle had a disappointing fish (EDIT - this was kindly removed from the bill at the time)... But the rest of the food was yummy. The garden is beautiful.... Will definitely go there again 😁😁😁

No longer child friendly under new ownership. We were told to leave because the kids were enjoying the tree and the grass. Another friend of mine was told to leave as their child was sitting on a wall. I do not advise you go here with children. If they don’t want kids to climb the tree they need a sign.

WARNING: no longer a child friendly place under new ownership Our recent visit to The Church Green was deeply disappointing and embarrassing. On a Friday sunny afternoon, we went with friends and our children, expecting a pleasant time. The kids (all aged 3-5) were innocently playing on the grassy area out the back, as they usually do, when they were approached by staff and they was first asked to stop climbing the big tree at the back and playing with the fairy doors which they did, despite us feeling like it was unnecessary as they were causing no harm. Shortly after, the children moved on and were approached again for climbed a small wall and playing hide and seek, and to our shock, without second warning we were asked to leave on behalf of the owners. This reaction was entirely uncalled for, especially since there were no signs indicating that children couldn't play in the garden. The previous owners always welcomed families, and our children have been used to playing in the outdoor grassy space, making this interaction both surprising and disheartening. We left feeling unwelcome and completely embarrassed, a stark contrast to the warm experiences we previously enjoyed here. I won’t be stepping foot in here again and am utterly shocked at how the staff have treated us, especially on a quiet Friday afternoon in the school holidays Also to mention my husband and I visited earlier in the week without children and didn’t have a particularly great experience either (both within the same week) Took ages to take our drinks order, they then forgot to bring them and when we got our bill we were overcharged for both of our main courses. Shambles, such a shame Edited: My response to the reply from management Hi, Thank you for your response and for clarifying the situation. While we appreciate your concern for health and safety, we must address a few points. As parents, we equally prioritise the well-being and respectful behavior of our children. At no point during our visit were we informed that our children were throwing stones at the property or causing damage. This is the first we are hearing of these accusations, and it is quite distressing. When the staff asked the children to stop climbing the tree, we immediately intervened and ensured they complied. We were not approached again or informed of any further issues until we were asked to leave, which left us feeling blindsided and embarrassed. Our children are only five years old and were simply playing, as children do. If there were specific concerns or incidents, we would have appreciated being addressed directly and treated like responsible adults. Children of that age do not act with malicious intent, and we believe the situation could have been handled more amicably with better communication. We value respectful interactions and would have preferred a more constructive approach to resolve any issues. If there are areas of concern regarding health and safety, it would be helpful to have clear signs or fencing around the tree to prevent climbing, and doors or signs in areas deemed unsafe to guide parents and children appropriately to avoid future incidents.

Great food and great service from Sam

Good food, nice atmosphere and friendly staff will definitely be back 🙂

Many thanks to Will and the team for a great meal to celebrate our son in laws birthday. Great food great service and great atmosphere. We will see you again soon.

First visit since new owners. Menu a bit eclectic but something for everyone. Only downside was that the fish (and and chips) appeared to have been salted before being battered.

Great food and drink brilliant customer service

Amazing food at a very reasonable price. Fantastic and efficient service. Lovely pub! Would recommend.

We had lunch here yesterday, the service was great, a really helpful lady from St. Helens - in fact all the staff were friendly. The food was great, the napkins with the food were much better than the usual thin paper ones and the hand paper towels in the ladies' toilet were (evidently) really good. A very well run pub. Bought a Cruffin and a Choc Brownie in the deli - the Cruffin was very different, but good, the Brownie is waiting to be eaten shortly!

Always go to the deli amazing home made food great owner always has time for a chat very friendly nothing is to much trouble one of my favourite place's to be rain or shine

Came here for a meal to celebrate my dad's 80th birthday. Despite there being 16 of us, the food came out together & it was hot. They even made a pizza especially for my very fussy daughter (which wasn't part of the menu) The staff were amazing & looked after us well. Thank you!

This place has been recently taken over by a member of the same family. The owner took the time to sit down with us and chat and send sushi tasters round which were delicious. Lovely pub inside and out with great service.

Food was really good, service was a bit slow and it was not really that busy, under new management recently so maybe just getting to grips with things. Nice location, we'll certainly be giving it another visit.

After a walk in the Lymm area, we only wanted a small meal, so we had several starters and a salad to create a tapas style meal. The wine added to the experience. The staff were very helpful without being obtrusive. The new owner was on hand to greet his customers. The atmosphere was excellent. The newly decorated premises were perfect. Try it yourself. We will go again after this first ever visit.

How times have changed! Two years ago my review was "Superb Eggs Benedict with their own cured ham. Pretty much perfect 👍" Today my son visited and also ordered Eggs Benedict, but was served with Eggs Derelict! A split sauce is unacceptable. No offer to replace and full price charged. Very poor See photo for quality of the dish served.

Popped in here for some lunch in May 24 . Good selection of drinks and food was very nice . A bit more than normal pub food price wise, but well worth it ! Limited parking outside, and can get a it busy at peak times so best to book ahead

Great stop on a bike ride for tea/coffee/ice cream etc. Decent choice, vegan options and locally made produce.

Stopped off here one Sunday whilst out on bike. Not the cheapest of places but all food was hand made and the service was excellent. Nice little stop, will go again when in area.

We grabbed a quick lunch here today under the new management, staff were friendly, service was very quick and the food lovely. Wishing the new team all the best!

First time here and the whole vista was fantastic. Only just found out the owners are leaving to pursue other opportunities. I wish who takes over from them all the luck we will return soon

My family and I took a drive up from Liverpool for my sons 15th birthday. After following Aidan for a number of years I knew that the food would be on point and we were not disappointed, every dish perfectly cooked and seasoned . We all had a starter main and dessert, the black pudding scotch eggs , wow !! For a 20 minute drive for us this will most definitely be a more regular thing for us. Thank you again and we will be seeing you soon.

I only went in for a drink and found staff very unfriendly and dismissive as if I were an inconvenience rather than a valued customer.

Met up with a friend for lunch at the Church Green Lymm. We both really enjoyed the ambience and food. My fish and chips were excellent 😋 with a great twist on mushy peas too. Will be back

Popped in for a pint of IPA and decided to treat the family to a meal here. Service is professional, polite, attentive and the food was good. My wife and I enjoyed the meal with our two young boys.

Second time visiting here. Food and service are excellent. Will definitely be coming back. Highly recommended 👌

From waiting at reception to being sat and served poor expected more from a mitchelin rated restaurant

Lovely food and a great location in Lymm

It's back! We've had some really great meals here over the years but during COVID we had a could that were a bit ho-hum so hadn't visited for a couple of years. But, this latest visit was great and I'm really pleased that the place has got back to the brilliant standards it had before. Great ingredients, really great cooking and perfect service. Well worth a visit.

Not been for a while superb food good for coeliac. Staff amazing 👏

Absolutely stunning. Relaxed atmosphere and surroundings with seriously good food. We were both totally blown away with the standard - this could stand proud among Michelin star restaurants. Amazing mix on the menu but even the most ‘standard’ of dishes are done with a twist. Simply cannot wait to go back, I actually had one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Amazing

Great lunch on 17.03.24. Tomato Arancini starter was lovely and my friends chicken parfait was spot on. The pie of the day was tasty and the staff were wonderful. Great sense of humour. Thanks for everything and we will definitely return 😊

Had lunch today. Ordered beef and Guinness pie. Unfortunately mine had way too much veg in it, over half the pie. Everyone else's pie was as it should be though.

Excellent. Food was delicious. Only criticism was the warm dessert served in cold dishes with cold custard? Will definitely return.

Excellent Sunday lunch, service very good, was fairly quite, but this was early evening

Lovely brunch for my mum's special birthday

Eaten here several times, constantly great. Recently tried the gourmet evening which is really good value

Great place, had lunch here and the food and service were both great. Also dogs are welcome too!

Lovely pub and deli, just up fron the resvoir. Helpful friendly staff 👌

Very friendly, 2 members of the party were delayed because of motorway accident, staff took this in their stride. Food very well prepared and nicely served

Our first visit and we had a great lunch. Excellent food and service.

Really nice pub with good service and nice food. Only reason it's not a 5 star is because if I'm paying £40 for a steak I don't want to then pay extra for some sides to make it a full meal. It's a nice treat but certainly not somewhere you could go every week.

We could only get a table outside on a rainy November Sunday due to poor planning on our part, but it was well worth it for the fabulous roast, one of the best I’ve had for a long time, and such friendly and professional service. Next time I’ll book in advance as inside looked very cosy. Big thumbs up from me 👍

Beautiful surroundings and next to St Mary's Church in Lymm. Lymm Dam being just a little further up. The ice cream was the best I've ever tasted, I chose Candyfloss. The Sausage roll had huge meat content and was fairly priced.

Good food, lovely atmosphere, friendly service.

Unfriendly rude, arrogant staff (family run) in the restaurant. The deli shop..£6.50 for a dry sourdough loaf., with so many good bakeries not too far away, I will NEVER go in this shop again. The shelves were virtually empty and in place some naff books. Looks like the place is on its last legs. Like to support local business but not at any price and without a smile.

Excellent place to eat. Great choice on menu and food cooked and prepared to perfection

Ice creams are yummy and coffee is good too
